About our wood floor repair in Newman's End

Laminate swollen by water cannot be repaired, and we’ll be honest about that. Boards are repaired where they lie, with the colour and grain matched by hand. Our technicians work on wood-effect vinyl (ask us), engineered wood and solid wood, and people most often call us about chipped board edges and burns.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newman's End as everywhere else we work. Put felt pads on furniture legs and wipe spills straight away.

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned.
  2. We fill dents, chips and gouges.
  3. The repair is levelled to the board.
  4. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
  5. We finish the repair to match the sheen of the floor.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

How we price wood floor repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole floor

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole floor, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate swollen along the joints by water
  • Boards that have lifted or warped
  • Underfloor damage

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Engineered wood
  • Laminate flooring
  • Solid wood
  • Wood-effect vinyl (ask us)

Your questions about wood floor repair in Newman's End

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a scratched laminate floor?

Yes. Scratches and chips are filled and matched to the pattern.

Do you cover Newman's End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newman's End and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to move furniture?

Only from the area we’re working on.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swapping a damaged board frequently means lifting boards to reach it, sourcing a matching board and laying it all again. Repairing it works with the boards in place. Our wood floor repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Newman's End clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
